In
the Book of the Concourse of the Forces itis stated that the letters of the
Enochian Alphabet are of the nature of sigils and can therefore be better
employed for magical purposes than our ordinary Roman characters, and we find
proof of their force and correctness as to correspondence in the skrying of the
squares of the Enochian Tablets. One or more of these letters being placed on
the particular square employed in a vision, instead of the Roman letter will aid
the skyring power by compelling the force of concentration on to the one square
in question and on no other.

For
however great may be the power of Clairvoyance, the student will find himself
obtaining erroneous results should he not carry his correspondences to the last
detail. Therefore it is wise to use the particular sigil of the square, as well
as the general one of the Tablet, and naturally as well the ruling Names (Deity,
Angelic and otherwise) with the correct pronunciation and vibration thereof, the colours &c
&c.

The
descent of the Book of the ‘Concourse of the Forces’ from the Egyptian Wisdom is
undoubted, for we find that the very key note of the scheme of these tablets is
the esoteric meaning of the Great Egyptian Symbols of the Pyramid and the
Sphinx. The probability is then that this Tablet language has its origin in the
Egyptian and its close resemblance to the Ethiopic (which is generally supposed
to be derived from Egyptian) is very marked as the Table on page 000 will
show.

Certainly,
certain of these letters have a resemblance only when inverted or transposed,
but this is not surprising when we consider the nature of hiero-glyphics, which
can be read from right to left or vice versa and downward or in groups, and that
a letter may also be turned in several directions.

The
Ethiopic is composed (according to Gesenius’ Hebrew Grammar of 26 letters all
consonantal (as are most Semitic languages) the vowels being expressed by little
curves or dashes seven in number, for instance (here the curve or
dash is at the right side and further it is half way up. In the second case the
curve is at the top.)

In
the Tablets, when written in the Roman character the vowels are sometimes
omitted. It is for this reason that we have been told to pronouce certain vowels
after certain consonants. e.g. If B in an Angel name precedes another consonant,
as in SOBHA thou mayest pronounce it SOBAYHAH (Book of the Angelic
Calls).
